So in May my spouse and I will be going to Ft Myers Beach again for vacation (been there many times). We are thinking of taking the Key West Express for a day trip to the Keys. I think it would be way better than driving (which we did once and it was not my cup of tea)
Anybody take this trip on the Key West Express? (Good, bad or otherwise)

Oh wow, thanks for bringing this up. We're going down to Captiva Island this weekend And I was looking for things to do. We drove to Key West once, and it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime, probably never again experiences. Bored me to death. The ferry sounds MUCH better. I may just have to book this!!

There's so much to do and see on and off the Overseas Highway, if all you do is drive straight to Key West, you're really missing out on a lot.

I agree. I like the intermediate stops of Islamorada and Key Largo nearly as much as Key West itself.

The drive across alligator alley is boring but the drive down from Key Largo to Key West is great.

Takes about 6 hours vs 3.5 per KW express. Day trip, not gonna get much. Plan on a overnight trip.

Maybe not this trip because I already paid for the hotel in Ft Myers for a week and it isn't cheap!
